Prince continues an impressive award haul after being named NFCA First-Team All-South Region and NFCA Second-Team All-American earlier this month.  The Sulphur HS product started 46 of the 49 games she played during her freshman campaign, all in centerfield.  Prince set the table for the LSUE offense, leading off and going on to lead the team in home runs (13), runs batted in (44), runs scored (52), stolen bases (49), slugging percentage (.747), on base percentage (.475), and total bases (112).  Her 13 home runs are the most in a single season under Collins and rank 11th all-time in LSUE single-season history.
